Consequences of cervical mucus during pregnancy

In the second trimester, the cervix will secrete something a few times, which feels like the discharge before menstruation, which is sticky and stretchy. In fact, it is the cervical mucus that is leaking out. Generally speaking, cervical mucus plays a protective role on the uterus, but if it becomes diseased, it will cause damage to the cervix. So, is it harmful to have cervical mucus leaking out in the second trimester of pregnancy?

Is it harmful to have cervical mucus during mid-pregnancy?

The presence of cervical mucus in mid-pregnancy is a warning sign of the possibility of threatened miscarriage. Cervical mucus is a glycoprotein gel derived from the metabolism of cervical mucosal glandular cells, and its state is affected by various uterine and ovarian growth hormones. Before ovulation, cervical mucus is affected by estrogen and gradually increases; after ovulation, it is affected by estrogen and gradually decreases. As ovulation approaches, not only does the amount of mucus increase, but it also becomes thinner, transparent, and elastic, like water or egg white, which facilitates the passage of sperm and increases the survival time of sperm.

What should you pay attention to after cervical mucus is discharged?

1. After the cervical mucus plug is discharged, female friends may feel a certain degree of pain. This is a symptom of uterine contractions during labor. Women can find obvious regularity of uterine contractions. So when the pain begins to occur, female friends must tell their friends around them in time to avoid danger.

2. Many female friends are afraid of seeing vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, but certain bleeding symptoms will also occur under normal circumstances. However, after the cervical mucus plug is discharged, some thick secretions or mucous secretions may appear due to the rupture of capillaries caused by the falling of the mucus plug.

Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to rest. This kind of situation may also occur before a pregnant woman gives birth. At this time, it is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry.
